How to use malignant in a sentence?

1. Sanskrit Proverb:

   In one short verse I here express The sum of tomes of sacred lore: Beneficence is righteousness, Oppression?s sin?s malignant core.

2. Sean Hannity:

   Tonight, at least one thing has become very clear – the Biden administration does not plan to hold China responsible for anything, patience for China, but not the Keystone pipeline. Clearing a relationship with the malignant regime – the hostile regime that they are – that infected the world with Covid-19 – is more important to Biden.

3. Dan Cantor:

   President Trump signed President Trump second attempt at a Muslim Ban this morning, behind closed doors, admitting that President Trump first order was completely indefensible, the same goes for this one. We call on all elected officials to use every tool in their arsenal to stop this misguided and malignant executive order.

4. Lion Shahab:

   For now, linking a rise in malignant brain tumors to mobile phone usage remains speculative and should not detract from encouraging lifestyle changes which are known to reduce cancer risk, such as adopting a healthy diet, reducing alcohol consumption and stopping smoking.

5. Lion Shahab:

   This paper provides evidence for a rise in specific malignant brain tumors in England, showing that incidence has more than doubled over the last two decades. What the analysis does not show is that this rise is caused by mobile phones. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, this paper does not attempt to link the rise in mobile phone use with a rise in brain tumor incidence directly.
